2. Registering Power of Attorney on an ISA

If the Power of Attorney is registered and stamped by the Office of the Public Guardian (England and Wales) or High Court (Northern Ireland), the attorney can sign the application form on the account holder's behalf.

3. ID and proof of address

If the attorney is a solicitor, they'll need to provide a certified copy of their:

Passport or driver's licence and

Practicising certificate

If the account holder lives in (or is moving into) a care home, you need to provide a letter from the care home that confirms the account holder lives there. Or you can provide a form of ID belonging to the account holder with the address of the care home on it. This can also be addressed to the acting attorney or deputy, as long as the address of the care home is stated on the letter.

If you're providing a letter from a care home, it must be dated within the last 3 months.
